Humility

Tempered spirit; contained, petty and mysterious

propensity to hollow rumination, ever injurious 

rusted on falsehoods and platitudes I vainly clasp

elusive understanding, persistently out of grasp

Oscillation of feelings; permanently vulnerable

undeterred, unbroken - reactivity gaps lengthen

given over to process, dignified and honourable

subdued celebration, re-committed to intention.
